THE LEGEND OF BASARA (Manga)

In Basara’s post-apocalyptic setting, Japan has been controlled by a succession of corrupt and oppressive rulers of Saffron Clan. The current one is the Golden Emperor, a sovereign so obsessed with maintaining his power that he has had most of his children killed. He later appointed territories to the remaining children, allowing them to rule as subordinate kings and expend their energies in rivalries amongst each other, instead of trying to dethrone him. As a result, most of the Kings neglect the people they rule.

Though the peasants have been downtrodden for decades, they have not completely lost their rebellious spirit. Four swords named for the Ssu Ling gods – Byakko, Suzaku, Seiryū and Genbu – forged for fallen rebel leaders two generations past, are the symbols of underground resistance groups across Japan. The sword of Byakko is kept in Byakko Village, and according to a prophet, a child of fate who will lead a revolution will be born there. When a pair of twins are born – a girl and a boy – the prophet says that one of them is the child of destiny. Villagers believe the boy, Tatara, is the child of destiny, but ultimately the girl, Sarasa, is the leader. When the local ruler, the Red King, destroys her village and has her brother beheaded, she assumes his name and duty to lead her people in rebellion.

Sarasa undergoes psychological strain over having to pretend to be a boy. As such, she often visits hot springs to ‘let her hair down.’ During these visits, she runs into a mysterious young man named Shuri, and they fall in love with each other.

Unknown to Sarasa, Shuri is really the Red King, upon whom she has sworn revenge for destroying her village and killing her family. The Red King is likewise unaware that Sarasa, in her alter ego, is the rebel leader he is trying to kill. As the story progresses, the pair’s relationship deepens even as their struggle becomes more bloody.

Bleach

definitely Ulquiorra and Orihime from the anime ‘Bleach’. He’s a villain but one could also consider him a ‘monster’ since he’s artificially made by a bad person for bad purposes. Orihime and Ulquiorra’s relationship reminds me largely of Reylo due to a similar interrogation scene, an emotional hand reaching scene, and overall conversations that resemble Reylo’s dynamic.

At the very end of the series, it is implied in poems and overall subtext that the author wrote that Ulquiorra and Orihime had this type of connection/bond/friendship blooming, and Ulquiorra was in love with her by the end. (It’s sometimes a controversial topic, but that’s what I believe and is fairly obvious if you look into it)

Unfortunately Ulquiorra died while they held their hands out to each other, while Orihime tried to grasp his hand, it faded into the dust. In an extra drawing the author did, that moment signified they wanted to reach each other but were destined not to. It’s a tragic story and again, has a lot of subtext, but totally and utterly Reylo.

Here’s some videos of them:
